Reward grows to $21,000 to solve the shooting death of 6-year-old Angel Hooper

Helpful tips to solve the shooting death of 6-year-old Angel Hooper are coming in to the Ad Hoc Group Against Crime, offering hope to about 50 people who gathered Friday night at a prayer vigil for the girl.

But police still need more people to come forward with information.

“We need more leads, we need more people to call,” said Maj. Karl Oakman, commander of the Kansas City Police Department’s South Patrol Division. “Because one week ago, someone shot this little girl and drove off. That could have been your sister, could have been your cousin, could have been your niece. They shot a 6-year-old and drove off.”

Angel was killed Oct. 17 by gunfire from a passing car outside a 7-Eleven at 107th Street and Blue Ridge Boulevard. She was with her father buying bubble gum.
